Shaving.: I assume you have lathered with soap or used baby oil on your legs before shaving. Take a disposable razor and use it after all the nicks on your legs have healed or cover them with band aids to make sure you don't reopen them. Then use the razor while sitting in a bath tub, not standing in a shower and be very very careful, especially around ankles and knees with very light pressure. Shave daily.

Laser hair removal: Consider a permanent solution with laser hair removal. Darker hairs respond well. Seek a certified specialist under the guise of a qualified physician. www.asc-psd.com

Razor burn: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving.
